Granzella has released a new surprise update for the classic shooter R-Type Final 2, version 2.0.3, which brings some new content to the game completely free of charge. However, fans are quite shocked by the situation, given that they have been waiting for years for the game to be transformed into R-Type Final 3, which for now remains available only on PlayStation 5. Let’s clarify that this is not an absurd claim, but a promise made by the developers themselves.
The only explanation that many have given, not confirmed by the development team, is that R-Type Final 3 Evolved is under contract with Sony, that is, that it is a temporary (or absolute, it is not excluded) exclusive for PlayStation 5. Who knows if we will ever see the second chapter updated to the third.
What’s new in the patch
In any case, the new update introduces a new playable ship, the TL-3N NARCISSUS, originally seen in R-Type Tactics II. To unlock it, you must have completed the R-20 stage, then spend 450 Solonium, 450 Etherium and 450 Bydogen. You must also have already completed the development of the R-9D2 ship.
The TL-3N NARCISSUS
Other new features include the addition of more options to manage the spaceship’s movement speed (there are now seven speeds instead of four), an increase in the number of save slots for the R Album, and the addition of two backgrounds and two decals among the extras.
As always, just have the game installed to automatically download the patch. Before leaving, we remind you that R-Type Final 2 is available for PC, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, Xbox Series X and S, and PlayStation 4.
